COMPANY OVERVIEW
Unitec Building Systems Manufacturing Company (UBS Manufacturing) is a
designer and manufacturer light gauge steel, structural and non-bearing
components for residential and commercial buildings, with the primary
focus on the residential construction sector. Utilizing new, cutting-edge
manufacturing technologies and our patented process allows the
company to cover up to 95% the residential and commercial building
chain in a variety of custom formats, while focusing on sustainability,
innovation, production efficiency and premium quality. The components
are produced and assembled to customer specifications in a high-tech
production environment (new permanent facility currently in development). Additionally,
low production costs (20+% below stick-built costs) and high manufacturing
efficiencies drive greater benefits for customers and for the end-user.
COMPANY HISTORY
Unitec Development (Unitec) was established by Wallace K. Shepherd, Sr.
in 1986 and was the original holder of a license to use a building system
patented by architect, John Sergio Fisher. The patents were subsequently
purchased by Unitec to use along with other products in the development
of housing for core cities. When Unitec embraced light-gauge steel as the
core medium for its building system, it was virtually unutilized in the
residential construction industry. Though learning curves are expanding,
light-gauge steel continues to represent a small fraction of residential
framing, with significant upside forecast in the industry. As UBS
Manufacturing emerges in the market, it can look back on a heritage of
forward-thinking innovation and leadership in the use of light-gauge steel
within the residential construction industry.
COMPANY MARKET FOCUS
A primary focus of UBS Manufacturing’s internal, residential building
program is the low and working-income (60%-120% AMI) segment in
high-housing cost markets. The low ratio of sector-friendly products with
high curb appeal enables maximization of the Company’s vertically
integrated process, where internally designed units engineered for
automated production are optimized, lowering costs and increasing
returns. This advantage positions UBS Manufacturing well in this sector,
facilitating a stable, long-term revenue and return landscape.

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
UBS Manufacturing Company (UBS Manufacturing) Housing Industrial
Center Facility – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The UBS Manufacturing Housing Industrial Center (HIC) Philadelphia is
slated as a high-tech, sustainable, housing development complex centered
on UBS Manufacturing’s manufacture and assembly of core components
for housing (up to 95% in-plant unit-build capability), with supporting
R&D and service industries, included. Over 200 new, green employment
opportunities, including over twenty high-wage jobs, and over 60 indirect
permanent jobs will be generated by the facility, injecting over $26.6
million annually directly into the local economy by the new employees.
UBS Manufacturing is seeking suitable facilities within the City of
Philadelphia to locate its east coast operating center and enable the
delivery of company product as well as to take advantage of waterways for
transport of finished product up and down the eastern seaboard.
The firm estimates generating over $175 million in annual revenues in five
years, with an additional, projected impact of over $50 million in annual
local spending with product vendors.
The firm also possesses partner companies, who will establish new offices
within the UBS Manufacturing Housing Industrial Center, further increasing
the number of high-wage jobs and growth-oriented, sustainable, entry-
level opportunities.

• Additional industrial and flex space HIC incubation for supporting
businesses and ancillary services. The area should be immediately
contiguous to the major production facility. The reuse of mothballed
industrial facilities would create a dual benefit of sustainable reuse and
the creation of new urban business parks in immediate proximity to
available workforces. Size of the local HIC will be customized to the
area; and
• The facility close to major transportation and intermodal hubs, with
direct access to waterfront and shipping, rail, and interstate conduits.
• The project will serve as a major manufacturing facility dedicated to 1)
environmentally advanced, green production, 2) increased waterborne
revenue through increased tonnage activity, 3) reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions through the greater use of waterways for
product transport. With a location contiguous to an industrial port
terminal facility, which is within the industrial area, the manufacturing
facility will serve as a major port project designed to stimulate and
attract new green technologies to the city’s waterfront and larger
industrial area.
Community Profile
Philadelphia is one of the most important cities in the U.S. The birthplace
of the nation, the City stands as a symbol of democracy and brotherhood.
The center of a major metropolitan area in the middle of the nation’s
busiest and most important transportation corridor, today, Philadelphia
stands as a major city in transition. While much of the city thrives, many
communities experience growing distress. As with much of the northeast
and other areas, housing stocks in Philadelphia suffer from growing
deterioration and are in need of replacement.
And, while the City remains one of the most affordable homeowner
markets, many communities still find it difficult to purchase a home they
can afford and/or to find decent and safe housing at income-compatible
prices, without having to exit the City. According to recent housing needs
analyses, the need in the Philadelphia market is characterized
deteriorating housing in areas where extremely low to moderate income
residents reside, namely the heavy urban communities in North
Philadelphia and in low-income sections of West Philadelphia, South
Philadelphia, Northwest Philadelphia.
Further, Philadelphia is experiencing many of the same pressures, along
with important opportunities for growth, as other major urban centers,
including the following:

PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT
UBS Manufacturing has negotiated the industry’s first
comprehensive collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for its front-
line workforce, which serves as the model for the componentized
and plant-built housing industry. As part of its CBA, UBS
Manufacturing established a five-year, wage progression schedule,
designed to fix labor costs and thereby improve production cost
forecasting and the establishment of cost baselines. Also, non-
union salary structures have been designed to ensure
competitiveness in the labor market, while properly calibrating
incentives with company growth.
In addition, UBS Manufacturing’s training program will link its
building program and the local community together. This linkage
includes employment, training and mentoring programs for
residents as well as ancillary business development opportunities.
UBS Manufacturing’s training program will also rapidly build the
skills of prospective employees in order to ensure premium,
product quality and job security for the worker.
SUPPORTING INDUSTRY
UBS Manufacturing’s facility will generate supporting R&D and
service industries, which, combined, will also serve as an economic
engine able to positively impact on additional permanent
employment opportunities in next-generation, green technologies
for residential and commercial building.
• Expansion of goods and services available to the low-income
community and impacts on low-income persons
INCOME-COMPATIBLE, FOR-SALE UNITS
UBS Manufacturing’s internal, residential building program is
designed to deliver premium quality single-family and multifamily,
for-sale housing units for the low and working-income (60%-120%
AMI) segment in high-housing cost markets. The low ratio of
sector-friendly residential units with high curb appeal has
contributed to an increasing rate of defaults and foreclosures by
low-income home-owners who purchased new units through
access to sub-prime and adjustable rate jumbo mortgages.
The increase in home ownership in low income communities has
been shown to serve as a primary stabilizer and foundation in the

framing material, which delivers superior strength,
dimensional stability, and ease of use. More important is its
excellent recycling capabilities, ensuring minimal waste
• Expansion of educational, historic and/or cultural amenities available to
the low-income community or low-income persons
ANCILLARY BUSINESS GROWTH
As part of the development program, the new development and
operation will serve as a catalyst for ancillary businesses, creating
an industrial complex based on new technology and environmental
sustainability, where supporting R&D and service industries
combine to positively impact on additional permanent employment
opportunities and greater public revenues for expanded economic
development programs within the local community.
TRAINING AND MENTORING PROGRAMS
The development and plant operation will establish a linkage
between its building program and the community where it is
located. This linkage will include employment opportunities,
training and mentoring programs for local residents as well as
ancillary business development opportunities. The company’s

DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITEC BUILDING SYSTEM
The Unitec building system consists of the manufacture of housing units and
components utilizing cold-rolled steel in a high-volume manufacturing and
production process, with existing manufacturing techniques common to the
industrial setting. Emphasis is placed on the integration of volume processing
and high-tech automation. Taking advantage of the latest technologies and
building machinery enables UBS Manufacturing to develop higher quality
products than currently available, promoting faster turn-key production, greater
design flexibility, reduced construction costs (20%+), greater material selection,
and increased return.
UBS Manufacturing’s patents allow the integration of components into modules
thereby creating a system that eliminates redundancies, while meeting the
demands of rigorous curb appeal required of leading architects and engineers.
Our patented system was analyzed by Bechtel Corporation, which noted the
system’s efficiencies and cost savings.
THE GENESIS OF MODERN HOUSING INDUSTRIALIZATION
The early twentieth century witnessed the emergence of plant-built housing as
the solution to meet the growing need for affordably priced, well designed
homes with high market appeal. Taking advantage of the cost savings of volume
production and cohesive delivery and fulfillment systems, plant-based home
builders, led by Sears, Roebuck & Co.(Sears) and Aladdin Homes of Bay City,
Michigan, sold hundreds of thousands of custom and pre-packaged units, from
the elaborate multistory homes, with elegant French doors and art glass
windows, to simpler units, such as quaint, three-room and no-bath cottages for
summer vacationers. In addition, these firms became leaders in the proliferation
of new housing technologies and construction techniques, from weather resistant
exterior materials, load bearing "sandwich" panels, drywall and other
composition products for interior applications to individual plumbing and
heating systems.
However, the segmentation of the in-plant homebuilding process into disparate
disciplines contributed greatly to the modern conventional construction
paradigm, where building efficiencies, cohesive delivery and fulfillment systems,
and cost containment, inherent in the in-plant homebuilding process, were
sacrificed by general-purpose government and organized building trades for job
creation efforts for returning wartime (WWII) veterans.

p 415.218.0281 f 267.413.2359 n ubsmanufacturing@gmail.com
Segmentation of the homebuilding process created fissures that risked the long-
term, sustained viability of the entire U.S. housing system. One result of
segmentation was increased building costs that led to the market's subsequent
disconnection of median home prices from median incomes. This disconnection
fostered the creation and use of non-traditional home-financing instruments to
recalibrate median home prices with incomes and thus cover, but not address,
the fissure caused by segmentation.
Recently, these particular phenomena culminated in the greatest U.S. housing
crisis since the country's Great Depression. Yet, as markets continue to retract,
the basic conundrum persists, namely median-income wage earners, eager to
purchase homes, deterred from achieving the American Dream despite the
oversupply of new units that remain prohibitively out of reach as a core result of
the excessive building costs caused by segmentation.
The result of this challenge has been the burgeoning of a large and fertile home-
buying segment; a solid, eager-to-buy, and diverse sector largely insulated from
many common fluctuating forces as a result of the inability to participate in the
housing market as purchasers. This dilemma presents a unique opportunity for
UBS Manufacturing’s Housing Industrial Center able to deliver appealing, high
quality products at sector-friendly prices, secure triple-bottom-line benefits:
stable profits and long-term returns, increased long-term employment
opportunities, and green residential units and neighborhood commercial
products through its patented building process.
UBS MANUFACTURING HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
The Housing Industrial Complex (HIC) is a unique model centered on UBS
Manufacturing’s manufacture and assembly of core components for housing (up
to 95% in-plant unit-build capability), with supporting R&D and service industries
combining to bring to market premium quality units at income-compatible
prices. The HIC also serves as an economic engine able to positively impact on
local and regional economies with permanent employment opportunities and
greater public revenues for expanded economic development and growth.
HIC CHARACTERISTICS
• TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN: HICs are models established on principles of
technological innovation and intellectual cross-pollination as catalysts for
Page 12

UNITEC BUILDING SYSTEMS MANUFACTURING COMPANY
3450 Sacramento Street, Ste. 401, San Francisco, California 94118
p 415.218.0281 f 267.413.2359 n ubsmanufacturing@gmail.com
stimulating premium quality, output, and growth for the benefit of
consumers and the local and regional economy.
• SUSTAINABLE: HICs are designed sustainable. From the central
production facility (including but not limited to following sustainable components, reduced
electrical loads, non-toxic industrial agents, efficient lighting & HVAC, local sourcing of product
and services) to the final produced homes, which are designed to meet the
highest LEED standards for residential units, the HIC is developed to
seamlessly integrate sustainability into the entire process of product
creation and maintenance.
• EFFICIENT: HICs are efficient models designed as one-stop solutions for
residential development.
• FLEXIBLE: HICs are flexible models adaptable to local and regional needs
relative to size and vibrancy. As HICs proliferate, most UBS Manufacturing
plant operations will primarily encompass product assembly, with parts
being shipped from UBS Manufacturing’s core manufacturing facilities
(CMFs). CMFs will also serve as local or regional HIC plants.
• CUSTOMIZABLE: HICs are organic models whose end-products and unit
designs reflect the characteristics of the region where the HIC is located.
• INSULATED: HICs are insulated from global competition as a result of
regional housing characteristics and local tastes, while still remaining able
to take advantage of global innovations for adaptation into local
production.
• LONGTERM: HIC stability is secured as local and regional housing renewal
efforts persist and core communities continue to transform.
URBAN HIC AS TRIPLE BOTTOM-LINE DRIVEN
With the reduction of domestic manufacturing, urban centers are increasingly
faced with eroding tax bases, as old manufacturing operations close and
companies and residents relocate, forcing local governments to reengineer
revenue schemes to compensate for losses. The result finds many urban centers
struggling to meet basic service requirements for residents. The skill sets of
former blue collar labor pools are incompatible with new emerging industries,
while local and regional governments lack resources to provide relevant
retraining that will transform skill-sets and attract new industries. In addition,
with the push for and growth of overseas production capacities and lower
Page 13

UNITEC BUILDING SYSTEMS MANUFACTURING COMPANY
3450 Sacramento Street, Ste. 401, San Francisco, California 94118
p 415.218.0281 f 267.413.2359 n ubsmanufacturing@gmail.com
overseas labor costs, local and regional governments are faced with major
challenges in identifying industries that can remain localized. This crisis in core
cities creates significant opportunities for HIC growth, as it serves as a
fundamental solution for reinvigorating urban communities faced with these
difficulties, while driving significant returns.
HICs Facilitate Triple Bottom-Line Benefits (partial list):
• Stable financial returns for HIC investors and lenders;
• Increase in businesses and jobs;
• Increased local tax-base;
• The growth of green, urban single-family housing stocks, multifamily and
mixed-use neighborhood commercial projects through innovative private
and public/private partnerships;
• Blossoming of supporting industries and growth of ancillary services,
leading to greater local revenues and redevelopment opportunities;
• Training in new industries, increasing skill sets of local residents and
thereby leading to increased incomes; and
• The repurposing of mothballed urban industrial sites to fit the needs of
HICs, decreasing renovation and set-up costs.
LOCAL/REGIONAL MODEL
UBS Manufacturing looks to locate its major east coast Housing Industrial
Complex facility in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
The greater Philadelphia region provides a unique set of testing variables
wherein UBS Manufacturing can wire-frame the HIC model for replication.
• LABOR: The large regional population possesses a unique combination of
employment pools, with a strong labor movement. This unique and
challenging environment provides the opportunity to formulate balanced
relationships with labor market players, which can achieve the following:
o Fixed labor costs, while ensuring participation of organized labor in
the new industry. In 1996, UBS Manufacturing negotiated the
industry’s first comprehensive collective bargaining agreement
(CBA) for its front-line workforce, which serves as the model for the
componentized and plant-built housing industry.
o Ensuring well compensated and developed worker wage-levels
most conducive to front-line operations helps to mitigate
fluctuations in production costs. For the Camden facility, UBS

Manufacturing established a five-year, wage progression schedule,
designed to fix labor costs and thereby improve production cost
forecasting and the establishment of cost baselines.
o UBS has created of non-exempt salary structures designed to
ensure competitiveness in the labor market, while properly
calibrating worker incentives with company achievement.
• TECHNOLOGY: The area provides a fertile landscape for technological
innovation, offering UBS Manufacturing the valuable resources for high-
tech integration and for research and development. In addition, incubating
new technology ideas allows for additional benefits and business
opportunities for UBS Manufacturing’s expansion and growth.
• TRANSPORTATION: The region serves as a strategic location and major
transportation hub for shipping of product, with extensive interstate
conduits, Port Authority shipping capacity, and established rail capacity to
cover regional and offshore markets. It also provides the opportunity to
exploit harbor waterways for local and regional product distribution.
• GOVERNMENT: The HIC can create the type of economic engine, through
the growth of ancillary industries, job creation, and increased local and
regional revenues, that can be replicated domestically and in many off-
shore locations. In addition, the region provides UBS Manufacturing
unique opportunities for public/private partnerships in the building and
development of high quality, low-income and affordable housing.
UBS MANUFACTURING FACILITY CHARACTERISTICS
UBS Manufacturing is seeking suitable facilities within the City of Philadelphia
to locate its east coast operating center and enable the delivery of company
product as well as to take advantage of waterways for transport of finished
product up and down the eastern seaboard.
• Primary facility includes approximately 125,000 square feet, including
office and ancillary space, with clear height minimum of 24 feet;

o Permanent long-term employment opportunities for local residents (see
above Employment Projections).
o Increased long-term revenues via 1) increased tax base; 2) increased
economic participation by new job base; 3) increased revenues from new
business operations;
o Housing for working-income families;
o New entrepreneurship opportunities for local residents and businesses in
a new industry;
o Unprogrammed land and mothballed sites to be repurposed for new
business use; and
o Increased cargo revenue from new products.
CONCLUSION
The home-building sector emerged as a mass production paradigm through the
birth of industrialization. The benefits of volume production and the emergence
of new innovations and products for the industrial setting served as a basis for
segmentation in the modern conventional construction system. However, as
witnessed by today’s unbalanced real estate paradigm, the weaknesses of the
current construction model have highlighted the persistent incongruity within the
industry, namely the lack of a unified and high quality delivery system, which is
inherent in the industrialized process, and the need for balanced financial
instruments and pricing models applicable to middle income wage-earners.
UBS Manufacturing’s Housing Industrial Complex looks to address these
problems by taking advantage of its innovative business model, cutting-edge
manufacturing technologies, patented processes, and cohesive delivery system to
build premium quality residential and commercial products with high market
appeal at income-compatible prices, while providing for the benefit of investors
stable, long-term returns, and local economies a new economic engine for job
creation, innovation, and growth.

OJT Description
Trainees will work side-by-side with production employees through the OJT
training phase. In identified cases trainees will work with outside contractors who
have agreed to provide counter-part training, where a trainee is assigned to a crew
supervisor, who in turn acts as a mentor and provides training in the field over a
pre-determined period.
Successfully trained participants are placed in one of four disciplines under the
direction of a Team Leader or Production Specialist (see Employee Progression
Chart) to work on specified lines or projects.
Employees are promoted (see Employee Progression Chart) based on availability
and merit.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAM
The employee training program is an addition to the employee’s OJT basic education
program, with its completion tied to promotional opportunities within the company.
Under this concept, an applicant is placed on the job by use of a strategy requiring the
applicant to participate in educational and work activities that include, but are not
limited to, the planning process, the implementation and scheduling of housing
production, classroom instruction on building design, management theory,
construction and manufacturing. The primary thrust of the employee training
program is continued increase of employee skill sets leading to increased operational
efficiency and personal growth.
OPERATIONS TRAINING
Operating manuals on company administrative rules, regulations and equipment
operation will be on file and available to company employees at all times. As part of
the training program, employees will be instructed and familiarized with operating
and equipment manuals prior to beginning work or utilizing company automated
equipment.
The training program will also include production and quality control curriculum.
The training will consist of both classroom and on the job training and will be used
for upgrading personnel, expanding staff flexibility and cross training for the
development of skills required for interdisciplinary cooperation throughout plant
operations.
All employees will be cross-trained in the following areas.
• Corporation policy and customer relations

From the beginning, UBS will strive to provide working conditions that keep people
free from accidents and injury. Thus, all facilities and equipment will be maintained
with safety in mind with all employees required to adhere to company rules, safety
policies and procedures.
Employees will be given an orientation on safety practices at the plant, emphasizing
applicable laws and regulations. Further, employees will be taught to observe the
appearance and condition of the facilities and equipment and will be encouraged to
report any unsafe condition to management. Every employee will be provided with a
copy of work place safety guidelines. Guidelines will be posted in the company
office and bulletin boards through out the facility and include the OSHA checklist to
assure continuity of training and adherence to safety policies and procedures. Annual
safety refresher courses will be instituted as well as mandatory attendance and
instruction on drugs and alcohol that will be an on-going condition of employment.
ON-GOING TRAINING PROGRAMS
All employees, regardless of tenure, will be required to attend initial training as well as
on going training programs. All employees will be trained on an annual basis regarding
company operational procedures and safety.

It is vital that all employees possess the tools needed to do their jobs effectively and a
complete understanding of the principles that drive the business as well as a devotion to
quality and safety in the work place.
TRAINER PROFILE
The UBS trainer will have completed the Carpenter’s Union, State of California Certified
Apprentice Program or an equivalent. Drawing from the industry, highly qualified
instructors will act as mentors and trainers for company employees.
INTERNSHIPS
Unitec Building Systems will work with schools, labor, youth agencies, and other
identified organizations targeting identified youth for the company’s intern program.
Interns will be introduced to the high tech manufacturing environment and exposed to the
construction and manufacturing industry. The objective is for participants to build skills
in construction and manufacturing based technologies and to gain an understanding of
and insight into the career opportunities available in the high-tech housing and
manufacturing industry.
Internships will involve blue print reading, unit design, and the introduction to design
tools. In addition, interns will be actively involved in assisting full-time staff on existing
projects.
MENTORSHIP
Unitec Building Systems is concerned about the positive maturation of youth in the
community. As such, UBS will initiate a mentoring program designed to provide the
support needed to succeed in school as well as to help build a solid foundation for future
growth.
Participants will have the opportunity to actively engage in esteem building and academic
enrichment activities. By partnering with local schools and organizations, the program
will expose youth to role models in a new and exciting industry.

INTRODUCTION
UBS Manufacturing believes that one of the fundamental purposes of urban renewal is
the fostering of an environment for social, economic and psychological growth and
well-being of all in the community through the assurance of healthy and adequate
levels of sustainable, green living environments, the creation of new, clean industry vital
for long-term employment growth, and the increase of local resources for general-
purpose government.
i
In carrying out these activities, the use of various government
authorities, which, among other things, are acquisition, eminent domain, disposition,
and conveyance of real property; the issuance of bonds; the levying and collection of
taxes; and other specified mechanisms in project areas, establish a foundation for
successful redevelopment.
By identifying, analyzing and programming available resources, solutions can be
developed and problems isolated and resolved without negatively impacting on the
existing tax base. Instead, the resources derived from new development can be utilized
for the resolution of local problems, with the input and central participation of the local
neighborhood and community.
UBS Manufacturing’s urban renewal program is designed to address the problem of
deterioration and blight by helping to transform urban centers into revitalized
destinations through new technology and sustainable and green development.
This paper takes a closer look at the company’s focus points, independently reviewing
‘The Urban Center’, ‘The Industrial Core’, ‘The Local Community’, ‘Housing’,
‘Public/Private Investment’, ‘Corridors of Activity’, and ‘The Housing Industrial Complex’.
What then follows is a brief examination of the fundamental keys to success before
concluding with an overview of urban renewal going forward.
URBAN RENEWAL
The path toward successful urban renewal begins with an analysis addressing
community needs on an immediate, intermediate, and long-term basis. The core of this
analysis involves assessing the matrix of services needed in the affected community. The
guiding objective is the building of a sustainable service structure in partnership with
locally identified organizations and general-purpose government and the establishment
of a model capable of embracing the impacted population and the surrounding

community, focusing on a balanced structure that will increase local capacity and act as
a stimulus for revitalization.
The overall goal is to enhance the character of the entire redevelopment area while
creating the positive residual impact on services and property values within the most
volatile communities. This strategy is guided by the following principle:
“The highest
and best use of a development area can serve as a stimulus for the desired social
solutions within a community.”
This principle serves as a foundation for addressing
‘Post-Development Syndrome’ii through the economic development process by
fostering innovative, customized strategies unique to a particular renewal area and
within the framework of a fundamental concept, wherein the community becomes the
focal point of revitalization, development, and growth.
THE URBAN CENTER
Today spells an opportunity to rebuild legacy urban centers through new construction
methods and technologies.
While some opinion holds that older cities are resource draining, to build comparable
infrastructures in today’s economy is prohibitive. However, by taking advantage of
existing infrastructures through rehabilitation, renovation, and targeted replacement,
resources are not only saved, sustainability is advanced, growth is stimulated, and
important history is preserved.
The level of opportunity in and need for redevelopment of urban centers also creates a
secure labor environment. And, it helps to foster the emergence of better, more
efficient construction technologies, allowing for the completion of projects in a fraction
of the usual time. This faster, better, more efficient and lower cost construction
paradigm, in the end, benefits the entire system and saves time, resources, and the
environment.
THE INDUSTRIAL CORE
With the reduction of domestic manufacturing, major urban industrial cores are faced
with rapidly eroding tax bases, as old manufacturing operations close and companies
and residents relocate, forcing local governments to reengineer revenue schemes to

compensate for losses. The result finds many cities struggling to meet basic service
requirements. The skill sets of former blue collar labor pools are incompatible with new
emerging industries, while local and regional governments lack resources to provide
relevant retraining that will transform skill-sets and attract new industries. In addition,
with the push for and growth of overseas production capacities and lower overseas
labor costs, local governments are faced with major challenges in identifying industries
that can remain localized.
This crisis in major urban industrial cores creates significant opportunities for those
willing to utilize the inherent advantages of location and built-out infrastructures of
major urban communities faced with industrial transformation.
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
At-risk neighborhoods have been found to contain many in-fill lots that suffer from
deferred maintenance, obsolescence, and abandonment. These low-income
communities, and their surrounding areas, require improvement initiatives that can be
measured, identifying assets (both tangible and intangible) and opportunities, where
activities are preplanned with self-sufficiency as the primary goal of revitalization.
Premised upon working with community stakeholders, new and emerging technologies
in construction complement the development of forward-looking strategies designed to
address long-term self-sufficiency, job creation & training, home ownership, and
entrepreneurial opportunities.
The structural framework is initiated by creating coordinated lines of program
development, implementation, and communication, which serve the individual nodes or
designated divisions underlying a community's comprehensive revitalization plan.
Longstanding deterioration and lack of resources require a new and different approach
to achieving self-sufficiency and sustainability in blighted neighborhoods. Therefore, the
intent is to stimulate renewal through innovative building methods, thereby creating the
surge of change that will facilitate community sustainability and forward progress.
HOUSING
UBS Manufacturing Urban Renewal Program P a g e | 5
© ag/wks/UBS Manufacturing Company. December 08. All rights reserved.
The cornerstone of any successful urban renewal program is the development of decent,
safe, and high quality living environments with viable homeownership and rental
opportunities at all income levels.
HOMEOWNERSHIP
The catalytic agent for achieving the American Dream is homeownership.
Homeowners are able to realize the benefits of appreciated value in the unit over
time, which is the primary foundation for financial wealth and stability.
Homeownership also serves as a primary tool in modeling stable neighborhoods and
community vitality. Therefore, the objectives are to increase the number of units
available for homeowners; to strengthen neighborhoods which have historically
maintained high ratios of homeownership; and to increase the number of individuals
and families eligible for homeownership.
RENTAL HOUSING
A key element in balanced communities is high quality for-rent housing at all
income levels. The objective is to increase the for-rent housing stock for the 60% to
120% of median income population; and to achieve greater income balance in
neighborhoods through the smart integration of rental housing for households
earning 60% to 120% of median income.
A review of an area’s housing needs assists us in determining the support required to
meet housing goals, objectives, and conditions in the community. The review takes a
close look at living conditions as they relate to the current and future housing stock for
low to middle income (60%-120% AMI) households, which informs the immediate,
intermediate and long-range development programs through the following objectives:
1. Increasing the housing stock for prospective homeowners and renters in complement
with area housing goals and objectives for low to moderate income households; and
2. Isolating, focusing and reducing the barriers confronting low to middle income
residents in the area housing market.
INCREASE OF HOUSING STOCK FOR LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
An analysis typically reveals two common denominators shared by impacted
working-income communities, namely the substandard conditions in which many
residents live and the lack of attention given to properties by owners. This is
UBS Manufacturing Urban Renewal Program P a g e | 6

particularly critical in program formation, since the acquisition and renovation of
many properties within target communities likely require some form of government
subsidy tied to acquisition. During program development, substantial consideration
is given to the affordable unit inventory, the loss of affordable housing due to
conversion of units from low-income to market-rate, and the demand for market-
rate and high-end housing within the target neighborhoods. Our development
program reflects the goal of meeting the housing needs, in complement with area
goals, and fostering new strategies for spurring balanced concepts within
communities targeted for revitalization.
ISOLATING BARRIERS TO ENTRY
In addressing problems and challenges for middle-income households, we attempt
to consolidate concerns and bring into focus common issues related to affordability
and community need. The initial thrust is the linkage between condition &
affordability, acquisition and rehabilitation costs to the investment needed to
maintain and/or generate the availability of middle income housing. Affordability is
addressed within the reality of the local market place when confronted with the
disposition and/or acquisition of real property utilizing tax dollars. In addition,
resident training and homeownership placement programs are instituted to work in
conjunction with development and investment in order to create balanced
integration.
Fundamental to long-term affordability, unit quality, and community stabilization is the
use of new building technologies in the construction of quality affordable housing. The
use of well-designed building programs will have the effect of maximizing the
construction of premium quality affordable housing, while reducing construction costs,
enhancing curb-appeal and increasing property values. It also has the effect of
generating greater employment opportunities for local residents as housing
technologies are localized for construction. In working with our team of experts, the
program embodies the development of pilot projects that demonstrate these new
technologies, with the goal of integration into local construction paradigms.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT
UBS Manufacturing Urban Renewal Program P a g e | 7
© ag/wks/UBS Manufacturing Company. December 08. All rights reserved.
Our development program takes into consideration the mitigation of heavy, long-term
government subsidies and investment by leveraging private-sector resources and new
technologies to foster and increase the supply of middle income for-sale and for-rent
housing.
PUBLIC INVESTMENT
Government investment is designed to serve as a catalyst for private participation to
enable the utilization of market forces to generate private-sector support for the
continued development of working-income housing. The process embodies working
with general-purpose government and its agencies to identify public properties
converted to and/or dedicated for residential development with the goal of
leveraging their inherent value to achieve affordability and the concept-community.
General-purpose government’s participation serves to increase the long-term supply
and maintenance of working-income housing, while decreasing dependence on local
government resources for long-term assistance and subsidy.
PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT
The private sector is integral to residential development in core cities and is a vital
partner in urban homeownership and rental programs. Our focus is on balanced and
integrated development in partnership with general-purpose government, where
mutual goals and interests can serve to create solutions designed for long-term
growth and profitability for the private sector, increased housing within the local
community, and greater revenues for local government.
Longstanding deterioration and lack of resources in blighted areas requires a new and
different approach to achieving economic development in blighted neighborhoods.
Therefore, the intent is to include the renovation of target blight as a part of the initial
phase of our urban development programs, thereby creating the surge of change that
will facilitate sustained community revitalization and lend to innovative building
approaches.
Both public and private investment is required for the successful redevelopment of
urban communities. Economic growth and the production of working-income housing
require a committed public sector partner that will make available resources to catalyze
value and unleash private participation. Our intent is on mitigating long-term subsidies
by general-purpose government in order to unlock value through efficient resource

allocation, while focusing on the development of housing affordable to working-income
populations.
CORRIDORS OF ACTIVITY
Designed to establish the foundation for community revitalization, the objective is for
general purpose government and the local neighborhood/community to be brought
together through the following corridors of activity:
THE CATALYTIC AGENT
[The initial thrust in the implementation of a major
redevelopment program, whereby said thrust is used to catalyze successful and
sustained revitalization efforts within a local unit]
Longstanding deterioration and lack of resources in blighted areas require a new
and different approach to achieving economic development in affected
neighborhoods. Our intent is to include the renovation of target blight as a part of
the initial phase of proposed development programs, thereby creating the surge of
change that will facilitate sustained community revitalization and lend toward
innovative building approaches.
COORDINATED REVITALIZATION SYSTEM (CRS)
[The integration of coordinated lines
of program development, implementation, and communication to secure long-term
community sustainability. CRS is designed to take advantage of market forces, after
initial investment and support, as the primary vehicle for successful long-term
systems.]
After analyzing local neighborhood needs, development strategies are designed with
the understanding that what affects blighted areas also impacts on and affects
residents of the surrounding neighborhood. The rationale for the above combines
the development of new housing with programs of social services, job creation,
education, and the elimination of neighborhood blight.
SUSTAINABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT (SLEs)
[Housing units, landscaping, and
support programs conducive to health, safety, and end user affordability. A scalable
process wherein units are developed and designed utilizing various disciplines in the
creation of healthy, safe, and self-sustainable developments. SLEs include a
customized combination of residential and commercial mixes.]
UBS Manufacturing Urban Renewal Program P a g e | 9
© ag/wks/UBS Manufacturing Company. December 08. All rights reserved.
Completed SLEs reflect a particular corridor of activity which provides for system
interface with community needs and industry paradigms related to building and
construction transformation, as well as social services and health needs, in the
functioning of healthy neighborhoods. They reflect on unit cost and affordability
through integrative methods for the revitalization of local communities.
THE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
The Housing Industrial Complex (HIC) is a unique model centered on our manufacture
and assembly of core components for housing (up to 95% in-plant unit-build
capability), with supporting R&D, design, product, and materials services and ancillary
businesses, combining to bring to market premium quality residential products at
income-compatible prices. The HIC also serves as an economic engine able to positively
impact on local and regional economies with permanent employment opportunities and
greater public revenues for expanded economic development and growth.
Characterized by advanced technology, sustainability, efficiency, flexibility, and security,
the Housing Industrial Complex provides the triple bottom-line benefits sought in
sustained revitalization efforts, namely an on-going economic engine for future growth
and development; high-wage, permanent jobs; and healthy investment returns.
THE FUNDAMENTAL KEY
By leveraging new building technologies and infrastructure paradigms that benefit all
levels of residential and commercial development, with a focus on in-fill opportunities
in urban communities-in-transition, the fundamental key is established. The
neighborhood character is enhanced and new projects are built with greater precision,
curb-appeal and strength. The new technologies also serve wider markets, with
revenues derived leading to increased area services and infrastructure revitalization,
along with added community programs.
An upsurge in stability is thereby found by stimulating new industry that is both critical
to economic revitalization and essential for the transformation of old industry systems
into new, sustainable industrial complexes.

CONCLUSION
Going forward, the successful transformation of blighted urban centers will embody a
balanced combination of green, sustainable industry and housing for working income
populations, genuine employment opportunities at all income levels, stable and
diversified revenue streams, and dynamic infrastructures built for future growth. These
elements are vital for the health, welfare, peace and prosperity of residents in urban
communities. The lack thereof leads to hazardous, congested, and insanitary housing,
loss of employment, inadequate revenue, and deteriorated infrastructures, which
debilitates health and safety. In addition, unfit housing and lack of employment
opportunity rely on each other to perpetuate a system of dependency and hopelessness
which also drains valuable financial and human resources.
UBS Manufacturing’s urban renewal program is designed 1) to partner with general-
purpose government in addressing the problem of urban deterioration and blight by
helping to transform urban centers into revitalized communities, which feature new
technology and sustainable industry, and 2) to develop green, sustainable living
environments at all income levels. By taking advantage of expertise in infrastructure
development and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, patented processes, and
cohesive delivery systems, we can bring revitalized infrastructures and premium quality
residential and commercial products with high market appeal to existing local residents
and future populations, while providing for the benefit of local economies a new
economic engine for job creation, innovation, and growth, and for investors stable,
long-term returns.
i UBS Manufacturing’s urban renewal focus is inspired by California Health and Safety Code Sections 33070-33071
ii Post Development Syndrome is a phenomenon characterized by the continued lack of employment opportunities, services, and revenue
within communities that have undergone redevelopment activities.

The primary function of the UBS
Manufacturing program is the
manufacture of housing units and
housing components utilizing
standardized building materials
(cold-rolled steel) in a high-volume
production and environmentally
advanced setting. Existing
manufacturing techniques are
employed, with an emphasis
placed on the integration of
volume
processing
and
high

automation. By taking advantage
of the latest technologies and
building machinery, we can
produce higher quality,
environmentally advanced
products, while enabling faster
turnkey development; greater
design flexibility; reduced
development costs; enhanced
environmental construction; and
greater material selection.

In-house development programs
and products target the middle
income housing market, units
priced at the 60% to 120% of
median income range. With the
widening gap between income
and home-ownership, this
market has become a fertile and
high-demand market in the
housing industry, in need of
premium quality units closer to
its income level.

Research has revealed problems
associated with the current
housing delivery paradigm, often
due to complexities involved with
the multiple supplier system. UBS
Manufacturing’s system minimizes
many of these constraints by
providing an efficient and cost-
effective, one-stop program.
Further, the ability to deliver
products up to 95% of turn-key
lowers capital costs and increases
returns,
offering

returns,
offering
compelling
advantages and value to
customers.
This advantage is particularly
valuable as part of UBS
Manufacturing’s Urban Renewal
Program, which partners with local
governments in providing infill

housing projects.
